About the role
The Camden Society are seeking enthusiastic support workers to join our inclusive team supporting adults with a learning disability.

This can be rewarding but also challenging and demanding at times. You may be supporting people in their own home or out in the community. We are led by people with a learning disability, and our vision is to promote that people with a learning disability can be leaders in society. Using a person‑centred approach, you will empower people with a learning disability to live the lives they choose.
